This looks awesome and something I’ve been hoping to do for a few years. Can’t wait to try this on my home server.

They already have an ad tier (tmobile bundles it into some of their plans). Is this going to be an even more ad tier?

Never knew that; this is special of Mozilla.

Agreed - rather give the people there the ability to install this themselves than have them try to block Firefox overall.

Really wish there was more regulation on this. Everything core instruments should not require software to function.

If only we had lawmakers that kept greedy corporations in check, instead of bickering over bullshit.

Still no plans/pricing for Proton Pass Family (only the full proton suite).

Proton is missing many users with this simple lack of effort; not everyone wants drive, vpn, etc.

Some folks just want a password manager for the immediate and extended family; and often times we are willing to just pay a few bucks extra per month and not worry about helping these people after they get hacked, due to terrible passwords.

I don’t mean that it’s been around for a long time, but the lack of innovation on it.

Plugins in browsers have been a crucial function for years and available on Android. The only reason they’re not on iOS is because Apple forces all browsers to use WebKit instead of Gecko/Blink/etc, like they do everywhere else.

I am more excited that Apple is being forced to allow other browser engines on iOS.

In 2024 I should not be forced to browse ad riddled websites that risk seizures upon loading, and further redirecting you to more shit when you try to close it, on a $1000 handheld computer.

Give us a browser engine that supports proper extensions, not this shit that is as old as the original iPhone!

Not just Windows, but Macs as well; I’ve had three different generations of MacBooks that you could plug a USB-C (thunderbolt) into any dock (Dell, HengeDock, random amazon brand, etc) and they simply worked.

I do feel your pain about multiple monitors; it is even more evident when you try to run some of them rotated and/or flipped.

I’ve not found a solution for it yet, and in some small way, I am glad to hear it’s not just me having these problems.

The Entertainment Software Association had pushed for the exemption for game consoles, arguing that including them would have made it easier to add chips that allow people to play pirated games.

What a load of utter shit. It would allow consumers to fix their things without dealing with crooks. Take a good look at Asus, they’re only the latest example.

And a letter away from Futa, which has a whole other world of a meaning…

thanks for the tips! I am running a Ryzen 9 5950X, so it definitely needs a standalone GPU. I am going to be getting a 1070 off the kids’ computer once I upgrade them later this year, so I think I’ll just stick that into it.

Would really like to get the seamless transcoding to work so the whole family can use it without hiccups.

Very much agree on all these points; I just wish I could get the transcoding to actually work.

I’ve been running Jellyfin in a container and giving it access to an old GTX970 but it just refuses to do anything with it.

Very well said. 100% agree - my projects are hobbies that allow me to contribute back for the many OSS I use, with the added bonus of helping me learn/retain knowledge of languages.

Very interesting research and write up - but holy fuck can we please find a way to share an article that is not cut into tiny snippets of text?

The question I find myself asking with new browsers is, if they are truly not gathering and selling your data, then how are they getting/planning to get money? Especially if this is not FOSS

I’ve had to create GP edits to prevent it from happening because it most certainly does.

Even then MS is fantastic at throwing up MFA reauthentication mid meeting or forgetting to throw it up at all and leaving you shadow logged into Outlook/Teams where it will appear functional from your side, but you will it receive anything until you close and reopen the apps.

They’ve had these issues for years and never prioritize fixing them.

You’ve clearly not had an update trigger when you were trying to present something, join a meeting, or simply do a quick restart after installing a program and get hit with a 10min “updating windows; do not shut off”

Here is something really bad going on with this person who has their literal freedom threatened, but let me twist this into why this is Elons fault.

IDGAF about Elon or anything he touches, but the mental gymnastics in this are worthy of a Olympic gold medal
